Vol. 50 No. 50 "Using Communication To Build Better Communities" THURSDAY, APRIL 26, 2012 Caution Unveiling of new wards at Town Hall By David Lea OAKVILLE BEAVER STAFF The final report on Oakville's ward boundary review will be presented at a Town Hall meeting Monday, May 7 at 7 p.m. The Town has been struggling to come up with a new ward design intended to address the growing inequity of population in Oakville's existing six wards. In February, councillors gave consultant, Dr. Robert Williams, a number of directions to follow. Council indicated there could be flexibility on the northern boundary of wards in the south, if that would alleviate dividing communities. Councillors also asked that Trafalgar Road and Sixteen Mile Creek be boundaries where possible. Town council wants each ward to contain about 17 per cent of Oakville's population -- plus or minus 25 per cent. Finally, council made its priorities clear -- first to establish effective representation; second, to protect communities of interest and neighbourhoods; and, third, to use physical features as natural ward boundaries. To date, there has been a quartet of design options. Option 1 has two wards south of the QEW and four to the north -- dividing West Oak Trails, River Oaks and the Uptown Core. Option 2 uses Upper Middle Road as a boundary with three wards to the south and three to the north. It divides Glen Abbey and downtown Oakville. Option 3 leaves Ward 3 bounded to the north by the QEW, but moves the north edge of Wards 1 and 2 north to Upper Middle Road. It divides downtown Oakville along Sixteen Mile Creek and spreads Glen Abbey over two wards.

It might be a Canada goose on the loose. The time for nesting is now for the native birds, which means confrontations with humans are more than likely. Last Friday (April 20), Oakville resident Dennis Sindrey was on his way into the LCBO at Trafalgar Road and Dundas Street when he noticed a goose resting on the parking median. After noticing the bird was actually incubating eggs, Sindrey moved to the next spot over and went into the LCBO to inform the staff of their guest. FAMILY BUSINESS: A Canada goose has built her nest on the parking median near the LCBO at Dundas Street and Trafalgar Road. Caution signs have been erected, but shoppers should be careful until the goslings have hatched and moved on. Unfortunately, Sindrey's warning was slightly too late. "When I was inside talking to the gentleman at the service desk he said that a lady was attacked. I guess she got too close and the male chased her and even flew up on her head," said Sindrey. As he left the store, Sindrey took a cardSee Geese page 4
